~So what if my crappy dorm wifi wanted to take 600 minutes to upload my video yesterday? Yes, it's a slightly longer than normal video, but obviously something was up with the wifi. So I'm just re-uploading it today. Obvi I was slackin' yesterday cause there wasn't a Tuesday Tidbits blog yesterday either....I was just in a super grumpy and nappy mood yesterday, so sorrrry about that.
~So what if I only remembered to watch the last 10 minutes of Ravenswood last night, and by the time I turned it on I was getting so upset about the possible death of one of the characters that was happening that I accidentally punched the remote and changed the channel and couldn't see the end? Yes, I did have a temper tantrum about it at the time, but now that the episode's FINALLY up online (yes, I've been stalking the website ever since), I know what I'm doing this afternoon... (;
~So what if I currently look like a 40 year old English teacher? With my topknot, glasses, grandma sweater, scarf, and cup of tea, I look like I should be in a library reading Shakespeare. However, I'm sippin on my Gingerbread Sweet tea, and it's freaaaaking delish!!! So worth the grandma effect it's having on my overall failed fashion choices today.
~So what if the new hair serum I bought stained my favorite pair of Hollister jeans....I'll get over it eventually, right? Tide To Go will take it out, right?
~So what if I have no idea what I'm going to put in my What I'm Loving Wednesday post yet? I totally spaced on the fact that it was Wednesday until I saw someone else's.....I don't think I have that many new favorites from last week, oh nooo00o0o0o000!
~So what if the campus shuttle driver who brought me to one of my classes today had a head tattoo on his bald spot? He's kind of my hero for it. Lolz.
I think that's all....what are you saying So What to this week?!

I've had such good vibes goin' for the past few hours...this may just be the best Thursday Thoughts ever cause I have some great news!
~I just got out of a class that I thought was going to be super long and boring 25 minutes early, so I'm back with plenty of extra time to blog about the good news I'm brimming at the rim with!
~It's freaking gorgeous and sunny and beautiful outside, and is climbing slowly back up to the 50s for the weekend. HALLELUJAH! I kept doing all of these crutch-themed photos...I could like start an Instagram or Tumblr and call myself Crutch Girl and just have all of these mysterious photos with my crutches peeking out of them. Lol anyways...
~MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, I GOT THE OKAY TO WALK AROUND IN PLACES OTHER THAN THE PT OFFICE WITHOUT MY AIRCAST/BOOT/BIONIC FOOT ON! I mean I could've taken it off whenever I wanted since it's just velcro, but I was told to bring my matching shoe to my appt today, and I left wearing it too! It hurt a little to bend my foot that way to put it in the shoe, but after that it hasn't bothered me. Their reasoning is that "I'll have more support in my sneaker than in my boot," which makes no sense to me because the boot was MADE for support, and has like a million layers of foam and air cushions in it. But either way, it was a super good day in that department.
My PT person put it on my backpack because I had no other way to carry it... do you like my new keychain?! I'm actually not too embarrassed of how dorky this looks, I'm more proud of being able to walk without it, and I kinda feel like SuperWoman about the whole thing. It's casual.
~One of my physical therapists is a reincarnated version of George Lopez, I swear. He looks so much like him, has his voice, AND HIS LAUGH! That's the scariest of all, the laugh. His sense of humor is slightly different though, thank goodness. Today one of the exercises they had me do was to start with my feet shoulder-width apart, then kick with my good foot (while standing on my bum foot, EEK!) and kick "George" in the back of the leg. They kept telling me to aim for his butt, but 1) that was a little...weird...for my taste and 2) I physically don't bend that way yet.
~Class registration went well, I only got locked out of one class, which is pretty good! I mean, this is supposed to only be the second day for freshmen to register, but a lot of freshman classes were practically full already, so there must be a loophole! Anyways, I had picked out a second choice for that class anyways, so on Mondays I'll have a whopping 4 classes (starting at 9am, ugh), but on Tuesdays I'll only have one, and it starts at 11 (so I can sleep in to get rid of the torturous memories of my jam-packed Mondays). Good thing my Monday blogpost is at night, cause I'm gonna be busy! The only thing that bummed me out about this lock out was that Miranda and I were gonna be in the same class together, along with possibly my other friend Emily. Boo :(
HEADLINE: Crutch Girl sighted with two matching, real shoes on, for the first time in almost a month.
~My registration time was during my PT appt., so I had to stop my gait-stepping to go log on and pick my classes. I did it in exactly 3 minutes, because I was so well-prepared and had all the course numbers, etc., written down (; George Lopez wanted to put me in the torture tub of Arctic death and destruction while I was registering, but I was like uhhh no way, my laptop is smooth as a stone and would probably have slid off my lap and into the whirlpool in .025 seconds had I attempted that. Clearly my coordination is crap....that's how I ended up in PT in the first place, right?
~I'm debating about whether to miss the first hour of a capella practice tonight to go to my third merit point event this week (I'm gonna have amazing housing next year, fingers crossed!)....there's this cool women empowerment thing going on, so of course Miranda and Emily want to go (I'm the one that told them it was going on, so you're welcome ladies). I haven't missed practice in awhile, so I feel like that could be excusable...possibly? What to do, what to do...
~I guess that's all for today. I'm just super excited about wearing matching shoes!!! And also about the fact that I can walk around with only one crutch now- I keep doing that to go to the bathroom, and it's so nice to be able to go to the bathroom without a wheelchair taking up the entire room! I'm shaky and look like an old person when I do it, but progress is progress, and walking was all the wanted all along.(:
Keep on the lookout for my Thirsty Thursday post later today- I'm reviewing a tea this week! How unusual, I know.
Thanks for reading! What are your Thoughts this Thursday?

P.S. I forgot to post my beauty video that went up later in the afternoon yesterday in my What I'm Loving Wednesday, so here it is so y'all don't miss it! (:
My Throwback Thursday video will also be up later today! Love you all! <3
I'm doing this post as a link-up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom- if you click on her button above, it's supposed to take you to her page, but this is the first time I'm trying this, so let me know how it works for you!
~So today I had to put my sprained foot in an ice cold whirlpool for 15 minutes in physical therapy. It was so freaking cold, and I just dunked my whole leg in there because I thought it would be a hot whirlpool like the last time they put me in one- but I WAS WRONG! It was literally such a shock that I felt nauseous and thought I was going to have a panic attack because it hurt so badly- is that normal? Does anyone else get like that in ice water? And one of the guys working there thought it was "too warm in there," so he put two whole shovel-scoops of ice in the water RIGHT where my foot was. A great old middle finger to you, sir. That HURT and didn't help my panic-y-ness. Worst feeling ever. Ugh.
~They also had me actually walk with my bare foot in PT today- usually I just walk with my AirCast boot on. I started out with one crutch, and eventually they gave me a break and let me use two. I was wobbling so much, I felt like Walt Jr. from Breaking Bad. But I was happy I could do it at all- I just want to walk again!!!!
~Speaking of Breaking Bad, I have been craving to watch that show lately- is it even possible to crave tv shows?
~American Horror Story last night was so freaking disgusting and emotionally scarring that I'm still grossed out by it. I wasn't even tweeting spoilers last night, but my boyfriend sent me a disgruntled tweet this morning because he thought they were. Silly Z.
~I'm starting my Throwback Thursday video series on my beauty channel today! Yay! I just did a post explaining it, which you can read right here.
~Thursdays are just going to be busy days around here if I keep up with this Thursday Thoughts link up, my Throwback Thursday videos (I want to do them on my vlog channel eventually too!), and I just remembered I still have to do my Thirsty Thursday post! I almost spoiled it and told you guys what coffee I'm drinking now, which is my current fave combo, but I'll just save that for later (; Now off to take pictures for that post! Whew!
~A couple of hours ago I cleared out my pants drawer, taking out all of my summer clothes :( plus I put a little Yankee Candle tart in there in the Sun & Sand scent recently, which smells like straight up sunscreen and beach, so all of the shorts that I took out (a total of 6 pairs, and I'm sure there are still some in my closet I must hunt down) smelled extra-summery. It was kind of a sad moment because I felt like I was saying goodbye to the beach and summer, and just wah :( But it was also happy because I have extra room in my drawers- I can actually put pants in my pants drawer, instead of my t-shirt drawer! Those will go home with a few other things I have found I don't need in my dorm room this weekend, and I'll have more space. HOORAY!
